(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nSharkNinja is chasing new buyers by partnering with comedy creators rather than traditional celebrity endorsements, per Digiday.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): comedy creators have permission to roast the product and still land the sale. Your buyer laughs, feels smart for catching the joke, and the creator's authenticity becomes your brand's. Instead of paying for celebrity reach, find the creator whose audience already watches them *not* take themselves seriously — they'll demo your product with the same energy, and the conversion lifts because the viewer never felt pitched. Run this week: audit your top 20 TikTok videos by engagement. Which ones are funny? Partner with those creators first.\nWhat that means for you: Everyone wants to buy the celebrity. SharkNinja is buying the laugh. That's not a secret anymore, but most brands still think a famous face equals trust. What's actually happening is creators who are comfortable looking dumb — who can joke about a failed demo or an awkward product moment — build audiences that believe them. The buyer doesn't need to think the creator is aspirational; they need to think the creator is honest. Comedy is the shortcut to honest.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Digiday: https://digiday.com/marketing/sharkninjas-new-growth-strategy-runs-through-comedy-creators/?utm_campaign=digidaydis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you? Your logo, your products, your own private room, priced and ready, in about five minutes.
